Diving hawk composite.jpg (Geranoaetus albicaudatus)

The last four are consecutive frames, while there is a little larger gap between no 1 and 2. I eventually lost track of the bird, when it was re-found shortly after, it was sitting on a pole ripping something apart.

This is a rare bird for the Caribbean (north of T&T), first for Barbados and one previous record was from St. Vincent.
